ABSTRACT
Distant metastases to the lung and bone from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the head and neck are often, but rarely to skin sites. Skin metastases (SMs) are characterised by painless, solitary or multiple, subcutaneous nodules. In addition they are made a distinction from primary skin cancer because SMs are separated from epidermis. The prognosis of skin metastases were known very poor similar to distant metastasis to other areas and the treatment were not curable but palliative. The oral cavity was the relatively common primary site among SCC of the head and neck arising skin metastases. We report the five cases of skin metastases of the tongue cancer, histologically SCC following the glossectomy and/or chemotherapy. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2006;17:141-145)
